The last train to Oblivion.......how a soldier dies
"What happened"?
He thought as he was
thrown back, the bullet
kissed the skin, pierced it
hurling in, His brain, confused
of the message it received,
"disconnection at nerve endings,
Massive hemorrhage", as the blood
descended, flowing out.
"I have to get up", He thought.
But the pain reached, as he tried
and stumbled back on the ground, he
touched the nape of his neck, where
the blood was swooshing out, where his mother
used to kiss him, and his wife before the goodbye
He could feel the soil
awaiting him, as it soaked up
His blood, awaiting for the remain
of a life, the earth could be patient
to receive. He heard the sounds that
crushed the sky, and saw the smoke
within the blue patches of the sky.
There is solemn reality in death,
a timid acceptance, that one can not deny
Inside him, the essences of his living gathered
In cloud of wishes, longings and grieves, knowing
the journey ahead would not be long
The body was collected
Tagged, bagged and numbered,
for the lonely trip homeward, but
the soul frolicked the desert for a while
Before taking the last train to oblivion.
